Did you know that the signal comes out of your components at 'full volumn' and that your volumn control knob does not increase but rather it reduces the strength (volumn) of the signal?
A really good pre will do this better than some. My own Cd player has a very sophistaced volumn control so it serves as a pre even for signals from other sources, such as my DVD and satellite. Tone and bass controls are not not needed.
